Bayern Munich join chase for Brighton’s Luka Vuskovic as Liverpool weigh up Jules Kounde move

Bayern Munich are among a number of clubs keen on Brighton defender Luka Vuskovic. The 19-year-old Croatia international is also being monitored by Chelsea and Barcelona, with the Bundesliga champions leading the interest in the centre-back.

Bayern have held fresh talks over another target, the 16-year-old Manchester United attacking midfielder JJ Gabriel, but no offer has been made. There is a feeling that Gabriel is leaning towards a move to Spain, where Barcelona and Real Madrid are the favourites to sign him.

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is wanted by AC Milan. The Serie A club remain keen on the 23-year-old England international, despite his increasing value.

In Portugal, Porto have increased the release clause in the contract of 20-year-old Brazil forward William Gomes to 100m euros (£85m) amid interest from Liverpool.

Liverpool’s interest extends to Barcelona full-back Jules Kounde, with the La Liga side open to offers in the region of £60m for the France international.

Chelsea remain interested in a move for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara after missing out on him in the summer, but the Blues will not pay the Ligue 1 club’s 70m euro (£59m) valuation for the 22-year-old Senegal international.

Manchester City, meanwhile, made an approach to sign 17-year-old USA forward Mathis Albert from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
